If you are lucky, your friends will think you work for McKinsey & Company. Don't explain too much or you will disappoint them.

Cons

Old school mindset Low salaries Nobody understands how promotions are made Poor leadership Lack of diversity in senior management Scottish Club style Poor policies and not even followed Unprofessional

Pros

Supportive culture, planned work programs allow good home/work balance, reasonable early career development options. Good business model and strong reputation so should be successful for many years yet.

Cons

Salaries out of step with industries they serve, thus difficult to attract/keep staff with deep industry knowledge and capability. Focus on delivery, not necessarily depth of analysis and advice. Slow to respond to market changes.

Pros

Work-life balance is solid, which is about the only pro. Wish I could say there was more to the pro, but this is about it. If you prefer simply doing data analysis, then this is your place to work.

Cons

Too embedded in old ways to really effect the change they claim to desire. The sad fact is, they claim to want to do things differently, be innovative, and so on and so forth, but they would rather not do that. Instead of letting the experts do their jobs to get the job done, they committee things to death and then take the worst possible route to get the job completed and settle for substandard practices because they wish to play it safe. Be warned - you work here, and every creative idea, new idea, new concept, or innovative play you wish to make will be stomped on or essentially destroyed.
